Returns the Integer
equivalent of a value if a recognizable number, or 0
if not. If blank (that is, ""
), returns a blank Number
value.
Sample usage
NUMBER(4.4)
returns 4
(rounded down) Equivalent to FLOOR(4.4)
or ROUND(4.4)
). See also: FLOOR()
, ROUND()
NUMBER(4.5)
returns 4
(rounded down) Equivalent to FLOOR(4.5)
).
NUMBER(4.6)
returns 5
(rounded up) Equivalent to CEILING(4.6)
or ROUND(4.6)
). See also: CEILING()
, ROUND()
NUMBER(4.8)
: 5
(rounded up)
NUMBER("4.2")
returns 0
. AppSheet recognizes quoted raw text values in certain formats
as Date
, DateTime
, or Time
values. In this example "4.2"
is recognized as the date, April 2 (of the current year). A Date
value has no Number
equivalent, so 0
is returned. This (mis-)interpretation of the input only affects raw text values; an input from a column value or the result of another expression would not be so affected.
NUMBER("14.2")
returns 14
. Unlike the preceding example, the quoted raw text value of "14.2"
does not correspond to a valid Date
, DateTime
, or Time
value, allowing NUMBER()
to work with the given text and to return the expected result.
NUMBER("Hello!")
returns 0
, as the input value in no way resembles a numeric value.
NUMBER("")
returns a blank Number
value.
Syntax
NUMBER( value
)
-
value- Any value.
